The race, in words

2:29:32 at Sydney 2026 put Michael Howes 1,558th of 1,581 men in the Open division.

The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 9:02 slower than the median. A harder second half: 16:06 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. The roxzone cost time: 13:56, behind 95% of the field.

Athletes who raced both Sydney 2026 and Perth 2025 were 5:38 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
